If your repeat prescription is requested prior to 12:00 we endeavour to have it ready for collection after 15:00 on the same day.

A prescription may not be given for an item that is not listed on your current medication list.

Pharmacy Collection Service

Many pharmacies offer a prescription collection service. If this is something you would like to make use of please complete the Pharmacy Consent Form, or ask at reception. Once returned to the practice all future prescriptions will be sent to the pharmacy of your choice. This service can be stopped at any time. Please note that your chosen pharmacy may not collect your prescription or have it ready for you on the same day that you order it.

Medication Reviews

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor, nurse practitioner or practice nurse at least once a year to review these regular medications. You will be advised when the last repeat issue is ordered to book an appropriate appointment to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions.

Prescriptions ordered before 12pm will be available for collection in the surgery after 3pm on the same working day. Please allow extra time for prescription requests to be processed following Public Holidays as we are very busy in all areas of the surgery.

If your prescription is collected by a pharmacy it may not be available for you to collect from them on the same day. Please order in plenty of time in order to avoid going without your medication.

Medicines Management

This medicines factsheet has been developed by Healthcare Improvement Scotland for patients to improve transparency with regards to decision-making on medicines. It explains how a GP or other healthcare professional decides what the right treatment is, whether or not a medicine is required, and if so, which is the right medicine to prescribe.
